I ere of the National Live stock Association in Chi cago, cougrcBS will have the public land situation brought to i's Attention this winter in a new and startling manner. A number of prominent cattlemen "of the west, who have been quietly investigat ing, are preparing to show that during the past five years there has been an enormous decrease in the number of cattle in this country, a decrease which seriously threatens the beef food supply, and that unless speedy action be taken by congress, in the course of a veTy few years beef.will be selling at such a fabu lous prices that only the wealthy can af ford to iadulge in the luxnry of a beef steak. The cause of this rapid decline in the nunberof beef cattlo is said to be dur solely to the contraction of the west ern grazing lands and the increase in "the consumptive demand. The rapid settlement of the west has caused the crowded coneition has prevented the ie seeding of the grasses, and consequently millions of acres of once good pasture have been turned into absolute desert. Democrats will have a majority of 11 ! on joint ballot in tho Maryland leglsla-1 ture. Cleveland was the orator of the d ty at the Fouuders' day celebration at Carne gie institute. Russia tried to have the Manchurian treaty signed before Li Hung Chang died. Four companies of the Twenty-Eighth Infantry will sail for the Philippines from Portland. Twenty-six desperados " escape from the military prison at Fort Leavenwoth, Kansas. Charles D. Thompson, supreme finan- Jcierofthe Maccabbes at Port Huron, Mich., has betrayed his trust, and is a defaulter for $57,000. Henry E. Dosch reports from Buffalo that in addition to the medals in the hor ticultural division, repwrted Sunday, we wore awanied fur wainiite, chestnuts and filbeits, one gold, two silver and six bronze medals; for fruits preserved in liquid, three gold, fonr gilver and six bron.o medals; for evaporated fruits, one gold, two silver and six bronze med als, and honorable mention for eight ex hibitB; for fruits preserved for table use, one silver medal ; for horticultural liter ature, one gold medal. Saturday, November 9. Li Hung Chang's Death By ' " Violent Depute With Russian Minister. A disoa'ch fiom Pekiu nates that a violent dispute with L'-Bsnr, the Russian minister to China, over the Manchu: inn treaty, appears to have been the immediate cmep ft the death 'of Li Hung Chang. The diplomatic events preceding this tragic climax have enabled Japan for a moment to frustrate the plans of Russia. A fortnight ago the Japanose legation secured a reliable oulline of the terms of the treaty, and filed objections, alleging that Japanees interests were involved. In the meantime the Emprees Dowager instructed Li Hung Chang to rommmu nicate the treaty, after certain monifica tionB, to the ministers of the powers, and if they did not object to sign the same. Li Hnug Chang visited M. Lessar and explained to him the instructions. The Russian minister strongly objected to re vealing the text of the treary .to the other powers, and a stormy interview cntued. Li Hung Chang went homo in a violent passion, and had a hemmor rhage. which the doctors attributed to the over-exertion of a weakened system. Earl Li's euccessor is Yuan Shi Kai who has been made viceroy of Chi Li's province. Turkey has yielded to all of France's demands, and all hostile demonstra tions aro a thing of past history. Nine convicts who escaped from Leav enworth, were recaptured and two were killed. Peter Maher knecked out Tom Jtffords at Baltimore. Portland business men are urging the government to have the transport Sew ard brought to that port. SunJay, November 10. Two Two Oregon appointments Places (ire held up at YVashington, Held and will probably not be Up. - made until the delegation meets there. Ivey's successor as collector of customs in AlaBka, will be an Oregon man, and the Burns land of fice vacancy is etill open. The presi dent will appoint nobody that he is not sure is a good man for any position,' but the impression prevails that Mitchell's recommendation will receive more con sideration than that of any member of the delegation. Simon claims a prom ise from McKinley of the Alaska collect orship, ar.d this claim is backed by the officers of the treasury department. President Roosevelt might be disposed to grant some conceecion to Simon, as the latter says he has not been fairly treated in the matter of Oregon patron age. Senator Mitchell leaves Portland for the Ea.-l to attend the congressional session. No more Lewis and Clark Centennial subscriptions will be made public until canvassers begin work. The Washington Agricultural College football team defeated the Oregon Uni versity team by a Ecore of 16 to 0. A dispatch from Minneapolis states that the Great Northern is preparing to investsgate the possibility of utilizing Shoqnalimie Falls, the greatest scenic attraction in the state of Washington, for pulling all its trains between Seattle and the summit of the Cascade range. The Northern Pacific a'.so, is consider ing the falls as a source of power for run ning its trains from Portland and Seattle to the summit of the Caacades. Presi dent Hill has decided that electricity shall be the motor power through the Cascade tunnel, and if feasible, from the - e i i .... . i summit of the Cascades to the Western terminal!?. The Saoqualmie falls are owned by William T. Baker, formerly of the Chicago board of trade. His son. Charles H. Baker, is president of the company. The falls have a total horse power of $100,003. Only about 10,000 of this is now in use. The falls are 270 feet high, and at present they supply the power for the street railways of Ta coma and Seattle, and for the flouring mills in the latter city. Monday, November II. New W. W. Campbell, of the Lick Star Observatory, has issned a Moving, bulletin regarding a recent and somewhat important dis covery made by Professor Perrine, an at tache of the observatory on Mount Ham ilton, in reference to the new star in the constellation Perceos. The Btar ap peared suddenly and unexpectedly last February, having been discovered by Anderson in Edlnburg. The late obser vation is in every reBpect unique. Mo tion on this enormous ecale or even one fiftieth part of this scale, 'has never been observed in any celestial body o.utside of the solar system, and it is morally cer tain that the observed phenomenon is closely related to the violent disturb ances which gave place to the birth of the new sta. It is perhaps as wonder ful and important as any fact yet deter- ! mined in connection with new stars. Escaped convicts in Kansas capture a sheriff and deputy, and hold them for an hour. The corner stone of the new rdifice of the First Christian church, was dedi cated in Portland yesterday. Continued on page 7. GRAND JURY REPORT. Declares the Bonds of All the County Officers, Except Judge, Clerk and School Superln tendenti Illegal and In sufficient. To Honorable T. A. McBride, judge of the circuit court ot Ulackamas connty We, the undersigned grand jurors of the circuit court of Clackamas county, for the November term of said court, do hereby make this our linal report to wit: We have examined all charges of crime, which have been brought to our attention and within our notice, and have returned one true bill and four not true bills. Realizing that it is imnoaai ble, in the limited time fn which the grand lury may remain in session, to carefully examine the books and accounts of the various county officers, we have not done so except generally, and such general in I oiuiatiou as we have is not sufficient, lor us to certify either to the correctness or incorrectness of the hooks or acconntr, or conduct of the various couuty offii ' M. We believe that tiie surest way 1 1 iiiBure the county against any tinancit.1 loss from any of its olllc.-is is to require tlieui all lo give bonds, and therefore we huw taken pains to exam ine the bonds given oy various officers, and as to the qualifications of sureties on bonds, and therefore call the attention of the honorable circuit judge to some of the irregularities found. The bond of the recorder is insufficient in form ; the bond of the assessor is in sufficient in form and contains the name of the deputy assessor as Burety. While the statute does not say expressly that the deputy assessor shall not be such surety, we think that the spirit of the law would render him disqualified ; the bond of the surveyor is not in the form provided by statute, and contains a surety who is an attorney-at-law, who is by lav. disqualified to become a surety. The justification of the sureties on the coroner's bond is sufficiently ambiguous as to be susceptible of a construction that the same is illegal The general bond of the sheriff is insufficient in form and contains the names of two sureties, one an attorney, and the other a deputy sheriff, both of which by law are dis qualified; the bond of the sheriff as tax-collector "will faithfully perform all the obligations required of him," does not say specifically "that he will pay over all moneys that may coma to his hands as such coll. ctor," which is the form by law designated as the proper form for the bonds of all officem, and the said bond contains the names of two attorneys who.are by law disqualified as such sureties. The bond of the county treasurer is not in the form by statute prescribed and contains the names of two attorneys who are by law disquali fied as sureties. We say generally, of all bonds, that the sureties thereon should be carefully examined as to their properiy qualifications, and recommend that all now, or hereafter given, bo sub mitted to the district attorney, or to his deputy before the same are accepted r approved, and we recommend tuat the county officers, whose bonds are above mentioned as irregular and containing disqualified sureties, be required to give new bonds which, Bhall in all resp-cts, be as by law required. We have examined the city and county jails and find them clean tnd well kept, but recommend that the entrance door of the county jail be changed or placed in such condition as to prevent any ef fort of prisoners to escape. We visited tiie various county oflicng and find th?t they are sullieient, for the comfort and convenience of the officers, except that more vault room is needed in the office of th recorder. VISIT TUB MAODALEM HOME. We visited the institution known as "The KiBterr of the Good Shepherd of the Magdalen Home," which is also a foundling asylum, and we found therein 15 babies under three years of age, and six ehildren between the ages of five and 14, which children are such as the law authorizes tho institution to receive irora the state the sum of $50 for each child's support. There rre also other inmates of such institution who are sup ported by the institution itself, which inmates consist of women who are in the course of reformation, who are there voluntarily, and one minor girl who is kept there with the consent and at the request of her guarding. All the child en and other inmates are well clothed and kept, and the institution is well ap- : ..... .1 mi , i pointed. There is a laundry run in con nectiort with the institution, which is an ordinary steam laundry, that is clean and well kept and the employes not overvorked. The grand jury was trei.ied courteously by those in charge of the institution, and we were shown through the same. Having completed our labors we ask to bo discharged.

" Onions 'are becoming an important product in Clackamas countv. and the demand seems to be increasing. George vv. Killin, ol Handy, says that Seeley Brothers in that neighborhood raised d.uuu Dustieis ot onions from three acres oi ricn son loam Altogether seven or eight thousand sacks of onions will be the output of that particular locality. and the present prevailing price is 1 1-2 cents per pound. W. II. Seltzir, of Mulino, is making a Luccess of fatteninj; hogs with corn and barley chop. He has a tine lot of pork ers this Beaaorrof fattening age, and alsc a neiu ot corn that yielded well and ma tured properjy. Combined with the bar ley it makes an excellent feed, putting soiiu nesn on tne irames ot hogs. Mr Seltzer has his wheat and other grains used for hog feed, ground in the chop' ping mill of a neighbor. Frank Bates, of Damascus, says that the potato crop will bring more money into uiacuamts county this season, than any other product. In the vicinity of uamascua mere is a large acreage and immense yield of potatoes. A portion of the potato crop still remains in the ground, the tons of the . vines not -vet having been killed, so that the tubers win ripen. An Jiastern man, who was recently .uoKin over vjiacKamas county with i view of engaging in apple and near oro duction, gave the experience of some of lus neighbor?, who purchased fruit atAShland. 1 hey sprayed their apple trees thormghly woile they were in bloom, and as a result there wew no worms or peats in the fruit. It does no good to spray aprln trees after the bios 83ms have fallen off. It is thq practice in the Etst now to sptay the blossoms, and it provi s a success. FOIt UOARsENeSe, Benj. Ingerson, of HuHon, Ind., says he Ifad not spoken a word above a whis per for months, and me bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar resto'ed his voice. Be sure you get Foley's. I barman & Cj.
